"I recently hired “Holland Drain and Water Leak“ to replace my water heater, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial response to the completion of the job, Brett was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. His price was very competitive, coming in 20-30% lower than quotes from other conventional plumbing companies. The job was done quickly. I highly recommend “Holland Drain and Water Leak“ for any plumbing needs."

"Do not use this company for electrical work. I had a breaker replaced today around 2:40 pm and by 4:45 pm I walked to the back of my house and smelled a strong smoke order. I found that an outlet was smoking and there was absolutely nothing plugged into it or any other outlet in the room. I called conway immediately. I was told by the first agent that a service person would be back at my house between 6 pm and 9 pm tonight. Immediately after the call I received a text at 5:07 stating that my appointment has been scheduled for Thursday between 10 am and 2 pm. I called conway 4 additional times to request that someone come out tonight for safety reasons. Every time the representatives told me that they were escalating my request. What that means is my emergency was not their issue. Finally at 7pm I called again and was told by an agent that no one would be able to come tonight and they were escalating my request to have someone to come in the morning. Not only did the phone agents lie"

"This is the 2nd job Hiller performed for me. The 1st was for installing a generator. Good job! This water line repair was like incompetent people trying to get the job done. The leak detection did not find the leak (a separate charge), however the 2 man crew that came to repair finally found the water line and repaired the leak. This is the only reason the rating is a 1 not a zero. The back fill crew damaged roughly 70% of my front yard. The drove the excavator across the entire front yard tearing it up. They were sent back to repair some of the damage, however they apparently didn't have the knowledge how to do this. They came back the 2nd time and swept the driveway and hosed it down to the curb. My yard took a pallet and a half to repair the yard plus dirt to back fill. Of course all was paid for by me. Will never use Hiller again for plumbing.. Receivred alot of "I'm sorry" from all who saw my yard they have never seen a yard that damaged before from plumbing work."

"This provider took over for a lawn cutter who faithfully cut my yard for more than a decade. The quality of the work was acceptable, but not up to the standard of his predecessor. Sadly, his crew stopped providing the service about a month ago without notice."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Memphis, TN

Expect a well-built French drain to last 30 to 40 years. By channeling both surface- and ground-water away from your foundation, the system relieves hydrostatic pressure and helps prevent costly structural damage. Choose a pipe with a quality cloth filter to keep sediment out and extend the drain’s life. A quick annual inspection and routine cleanouts will keep water flowing freely, ensuring the system continues to protect your home for years to come.

Most French drains sit two feet below grade, but depth ultimately depends on the problem you’re solving. For puddling rainwater or snowmelt, a shallow curtain drain at lawn level often does the trick. To handle rising groundwater, pros dig deeper, down to the footing, and run the pipe beneath the basement slab. A drainage contractor will determine the optimal depth for your specific soil conditions and water issues.

A properly installed interior French drain captures water at the slab, channels it to a sump pit, and directs it safely outside, preventing basement floods before they occur. Because the pipe sits just under the floor edge, a plumber can reach it easily for cleaning or repairs. Pairing the drain with a reliable sump pump gives you the best long-term protection.

Hire a contractor who installs drainage systems every day—typically a foundation specialist, drainage contractor, experienced landscaper, or plumber with waterproofing experience. These pros understand slope, soil, and local codes, and they have the equipment to trench safely around utilities. Ask for references and photos of recent jobs to be sure they can design a system that keeps water off your foundation for decades.

Once the drain is in, patch the yard by reseeding bare spots or replacing plants the crew removed. Inside, look for ways to add value—finishing the basement or upgrading interior waterproofing while the space is open often costs less now than later. Schedule a quick annual checkup to flush sediment and confirm the pipe and sump pump are clear. Consistent maintenance ensures the drain functions properly and protects your investment.

Most policies don’t cover the cost of repairing a French drain itself, but they may provide coverage for water damage if the system fails. Coverage varies by insurer, so be sure to read the fine print or contact your agent before any issues arise. If you live in a high-risk flood zone, consider a separate flood policy to close the gap. Knowing your coverage in advance helps you budget for repairs and avoid unexpected costs.
